Terminal Title

Change the title if the currently running terminal emulator supports it.

Currently supported terminal emulators

• konsole
• alacritty
• gnome-terminal

For unsupported terminal emulators, the MustSet function will try the same terminal codes as for gnome-terminal.

Example use

package main

import (
    "github.com/xyproto/termtitle"
)

func main() {
    termtitle.Set("TESTING 1 2 3")
}

Terminal codes

For konsole a working string seems to be:

\033]0;TITLE\a

While for gnome-terminal, this one works:

\033]30;TITLE\007

For alacritty, this seems to work:

\033]2;TITLE\007

TITLE is the title that will be set.

The settitle utility

This utility can be used for setting the terminal title.

Install with Go 1.18 or later:

go install github.com/xyproto/termtitle/cmd/settitle@latest
